Subject: National Welsh N655 (RBO 24R)
Chassis: Leyland National 11351A/1R
Body: Leyland National B49F
Location: Newport bus station
Date: 26-Oct-1988

This is the first (chronologically) of three shots of this bus in approximately the same location but carrying three very different liveries.

In this view the former Taff-Ely 24 has just started working for National Welsh but still carries full Taff-Ely livery. It appears to be on hire to National Welsh which fits with it not becoming part of the fleet until November despite a takeover date of 5th September. This bus would become N655 in the National Welsh fleet.
